    After eating here 2-3-10 both myself and eating partner developed food poisoning. When I called the management, they were rude, helpless and insisted I was lying. NOT WORTH IT.

  17. Stunning views, bad attitude
    Located on the top floor of the Huntley hotel, the Penthouse hosts the best ocean and city views in a Santa Monica restaurant. Period. I've been bringing friends and family visiting from out of town to this place since it was Toppers, that is, until my last visit. Its a fantastic place for a lunch or pre-dinner cocktails. Expect to spend around $15 for a cocktail. The decor is modern, posh a...

  18. Drinks, Go Elsewhere for Dinner
    I tried out The Penthouse for a second time since they are participating in Dine LA's Restaurant Week hoping it would be better than my first experience, and I was wrong. The food was far below the standards of what you usually get for those prices (soggy blueberries, overwhelming lemon in the salad dressing, and gray meat - that is NOT medium). And the service was worse. Granted I went on a S...

  20. Love the ambiance and service
    The service and ambiance at The Penthouse is second to none. For this reason alone, it should be on your list of places to try in LA. The food is good, some of the dishes are excellent (the tomato Mozzarella flatbread, mac and cheese and all dessert were highlights for me), while others are a miss (salmon). The wait staff is incredible, as are the swaky booths overlooking the pacific. The...

  22. Beautiful Surrounds But Just OK
    There's no denying that this place is beautiful and the view is amazing especially on the ocean side. I was really looking forward to having brunch here for a special occasion but was very disappointed. The food was very mediocre and really overpriced for the quality and taste. The service left much to be desired. We had to ask to order. We weren't even offered bread until after our appetizers ar...

  23. The View, The View!
    Great place to meet for drinks especially for a date or with out of town friends. The views are amazing, try to head over before sunset. Sunday bruch offers spectacular views on a clear day. The food is good and I've gone during brunch and had a work lunch there. Its typical hotel restaruant food fare. The cocktails are good but you go to the Penthouse for the atmosphere and view.

  24. Good food, excellent view, bad service
    This restaurant has an excellent location, in the top floor of The Huntley Hotel, and the food was very good. Unfortunately, the staff keeps dishing out billing discrepancies. At first, the waitress gave us a bill with several drinks from the bar, which were not ours. Then, we asked her to split the bill down the middle and she couldn't get that right. After calling the restaurant several tim...

  25. Very Enjoyable Evening!
    Going to The Penthouse was for dinner was interesting as I have never gone for food- mainly just the drinks. But I was very pleased with everything- from the service to the high quality, very reasonablely priced dinner. A great place to go for dinner and then hang out afterwards for some after dinner cocktails. I will certainly do it again!

  27. Incredible food, wonderful warm service & amazing view.
    Had dinner with my family and we all were impressed by the layout. The food was incredible with a nice starter off with Pork belly with pickled cauiflower and hard boiled egg, Frizee salad, then an amazing pepper crusted tuna follow by black forest brownie sundae to finish my night. What a meal. Thank you Penthouse.

    The views are amazing!! The food was really good, but not the best I've ever had. Our waiter was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable.

    I will not go back! I was there this past Sunday. the Huntley has the worst customer service in Los Angeles. When I got there the valet didn't come to assist me and merely pointed to drive off the drive-way. They never open my car door and ask to assist me. Then the waiter at the Penthouse forgot our order while other late comers already had their food served. Our breakfast took more than two ho...

  35. Bring back toppers!
    Ok, it deserves more than the two stars I gave it... but I had to bring some balance to the people who are giving it five. My major complaint: This is santa monica, not the club of the month in hollywood. Just made me miss toppers? on the plus side the views are still great, even if the food and service aren?t 5 star anymore.

    the decor and the view are amazing !!! The wait staff was helpful and friendly. the appetizers were good, i recommend the crab cakes, but both main courses that i had and that of my business partner was way over cooked, and average at best. when mentioned to the manager, he was extremely condescending. will we return? I dont think so.

  37. New staff and management - give this one another try! A great beach oasis
    Stunning views - attentive wait staff - food to die for! But be prepared to pay for it - this is not a cheap hamburger stand on the beach. Try the fois gras, the truffle potato chips and the cheese tray, the seasonal dishes are wonderful (Lobster Mac & Cheese!) AND the old favories are there. We get 3 entree's and some sides for 4 people and are stuffed so I dont get the underfed reviews. ...

    Sunday Night at 7:00pm. First time here. Met some out of town friends here for drinks and a possible bite if a table was available. View is one of a kind in Santa Monica apart from getting a hotel ocean view room at any of the Ocean side hotels in the area. For the type of establishment cost of drinks were already anticipated not to be TGIF cheap. Atmosphere was comfortable with seats availa...

    There is no need to tell me that you don't allow t shirts, ripped jeans and sneakers at your stupid bar when all I'm calling for is booth information AND after I've been there 10 times.

    The experience at The Penthouse was not as good as the other reviews I've seen online. The receptionist was not very friendly when we actually arrived 10 minuts earlier than our reserved time. So she asks us to hang around at the bar becasue the table won't be ready until 20-25 mins later. So my boyfriend and I went to the bar, but the bar have only average selection of wines. And the overall set...

  44. Even your cat won't be fed by the food amount on a plate.
    The beautiful view from the 18th floor is handicapped with huge curtains between the tables, and the big tables that sit 6-8 people stay empty since there rarely are so many people in a party,. And don't you dare try to sit there if you are 2 or 3 ! So the best to do is go early before 6pm, that is before the crowds, and sit at the huge bar and have your drink, you may eat there too but try to ...

    I LOVE the Penthouse...for its beauty (Thomas Schoos is truly a design genius), the views, the service and the food (especially the desserts)! I don't know if previous reviewers who complained about the food actually tasted any of it. If they had, they would have used words like adventurous, well-executed and inspired (not bland or mediocre...far from it). The calamari with guaca-tartar sauce was...

    For a place with such potential, it is sad to see it wasted by having staff incompetent of simple tasks such as smiling. This is not a Hollywood nightclub! Walk in the door and after being treated like you need to have the looks of a supermodel to get in, you finally get upstairs and greeted (or should I say not greeted) by a hostess who seemed more involved in her conversation with a co-worker...

    This place is great for a drink, but the dining was really disappointing. First of all, our food came out 10 min after we placed the order. One of the people at our table hadn't even finished his appetizer! Also, since it came out so quickly, it was obvious the food had be reheated. My sea bass was dry. Not acceptable for a $40 entree. The waitstaff was slow and unattentive. Also, this place is s...

    This place has the VERY BEST views of the city and is a wonderful dining setting. Sadly the good stuff ends there. The food although unique is not really good. Nothing poor...just mediocre.

    Beautiful space. Great bar scene for those in 20s. Food definitely a let down. High aspiration but mediocre execution for the price. Unimaginative wine list. VERY noisy (not just a sceney buzz). Worst though is overagressive busboys (my friends had the same complaint on another night) removing plates too quickly - attempting to turn tables to get the next check seated (and I'm a fast eater)...

    It's really too bad when a cheesy vibe takes hold of one of the best views in the city. I sort of felt bad for the waitstaff -- short low cut uniforms straight outta 1987 that seemingly only served to make the rest of the women in the bar feel attractive and stylish (no easy feat). Minus 5 points. For people who call this place *classy*. . .I am reminded of when my sister explained to me tha...

    "The Penthouse," was previously known as Toppers. Toppers was a fantastic bar/restaurant. Easily the best happy-hour in Los Angeles, great happy-hour entrees and dinner entrees with a striking view of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Bay. However, ten months ago Toppers closed down for "remodeling." It opened five days ago. I am shocked and appalled at how much they screwed this place up. ...
